- Hi.
- I am lucky (?) enough to only program on one platform, Sun 4, so using
- extensions is no problem. I dont sell my code, so if anyone nicks it
- then trying to port it is their problem!
-
- I find the following very useful:
- Long (ie meaningfull) identifiers
- Trailing comments (eg
- if ( a .ne. b ) then ! If mismatched, sort it out...
- and various of the Sun library functions, which I suppose could be called
- language extensions. In addition, I often use unlabelled do loops, because
- I think they are tidyer than all those continue statements.
-
- Just my 2p worth.
- As programmers go, I make a pretty good materials scientist...
